Abstract: A transmitting entity performs spatial processing on data symbols for each subband with an eigenmode matrix, a steering matrix, or an identity matrix to obtain spatially processed symbols for the subband. The data symbols may be sent on orthogonal spatial channels with the eigenmode matrix, on different spatial channels with the steering matrix, or from different transmit antennas with the identity matrix. The transmitting entity further performs beamforming on the spatially processed symbols, in the frequency domain or time domain, prior to transmission from the multiple transmit antennas. A receiving entity performs the complementary processing to recover the data symbols sent by the transmitting entity. The receiving entity may derive a spatial filter matrix for each subband based on a MIMO channel response matrix for that subband and perform receiver spatial processing for the subband with the spatial filter matrix.

Abstract: Distributeur automatique électrique pour distribuer un produit stocké dans le distributeur et qui comprend un système actif de capteur IR pour détecter un utilisateur. Le système de capteur IR inclut au moins un émetteur IR et au moins un récepteur IR. Le système de détection IR est conçu de façon à chercher la présence d’un utilisateur possible à une certaine vitesse d’examen. Le système de commande des capteurs fournit à l’émetteur ou aux émetteurs IR un premier courant qui est constant durant un ou plusieurs examens isolés et qui est modifié en un deuxième courant, différent, pour un examen suivant. Le premier et le deuxième courant sont déterminés sur la base d’une force de signal de l’IR moyen reçu par le récepteur ou les récepteurs IR pendant un certain nombre d’examens isolés précédents. Dans un système simplifié, la valeur moyenne des valeurs IR reçues les plus récentes peut être comparée à une valeur standard définie dans le système de commande pour modifier le courant fourni à l’émetteur ou aux émetteurs IR. Un tel système optimise la détection et économise l’énergie.

Abstract: To provide a control valve for variable displacement compressor employing ON/OFF control, which is capable of taking measures for occurrence of an abnormally high pressure. 
     When a solenoid is OFF, a spring (17) causes a movable core (16) to move a stopper (19) in a direction away from a stationary core (14) and to thereby separate a shaft (18) fixed to the stopper (19) from a valve seat (13), resulting in opening the control valve. When the solenoid is ON, the movable core (16) is attracted by the stationary core (14) by a stroke longer than that of the shaft (18), and a spring (20) causes the shaft (18) to seat on the valve seat (13), resulting in closing the control valve. If a discharge pressure Pd increases to an abnormally high pressure, a differential pressure between the discharge pressure Pd and a pressure Pc in a crankcase pushes the shaft (18) while compressing the spring (20), so that the discharge pressure Pd flows out to the crankcase. Therefore, the pressure Pc in the crankcase increases and the variable displacement compressor shifts to operate at a minimum discharge capacity, resulting in decreasing the abnormally high pressure.

Abstract: Provided is a method of producing porous silica-based particles with the relatively larger average diameter of 1 micron or more and also having a low particle density. The method comprises the steps of (a) preparing two-layer separated liquid consisting of an organic silicon compound layer and a water layer, then adding an organic solvent, an alkali, and a surfactant into the water layer while agitating at least the water layer so that the organic silicon compound layer and the water layer are not completely mixed with each other, further hydrolyzing and/or partial hydrolyzing the organic silicon compound in the mixed aqueous solution to prepare silica-based particle precursors, (b) adding sodium aluminate into the mixed aqueous solution containing the silica-based particle precursors and then preparing silica-based particles having pores, cavities or voids inside the particles, and (c) washing and drying the silica-based particles. Thus obtained particles are useful for various applications such as microcapsules, adsorbents, catalysts, low refractive film, low dielectric film and low reflectivity film.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a highly sensitive Langevin type quartz sensor which is easy in assembling, is less likely to cause damage to a quartz resonator during the assembly work, and is easy to perform a measurement work. As a specific means to solve the problem, a recess is formed in a quartz holding member made of, for instance, rubber, and an airtight space is formed by holding the quartz resonator with the quartz holding member so as to cover the recess. In the meantime, a hole is provided in a circuit board and a projected portion which projects toward back side of the recess in the quartz holding member is fitted into this hole. Then, a resonator electrode of the quartz resonator and an electrode of the circuit board are electrically connected using a conductive adhesive, a pouring space for a sample solution is formed by pressing a position surrounding the quartz resonator in the quartz holding member toward the circuit board side with a lid so that the quartz sensor is structured. Since there is no possibility for such a quartz sensor that the quartz resonator is directly pressed and an excessive force is applied to the quartz resonator during manufacturing and the quartz resonator is not in direct contact with the circuit board, damage to the quartz resonator is suppressed.

Abstract: In order to improve a reliability of a belt withdrawn amount sensing unit for detecting a belt withdrawn amount with a high accuracy and more securely sense a fastening of a seat belt, a seat belt retractor is provided, wherein, when a distal end of a protrusion (26a) of a switch lever (26) is in contact with a circumferential surface (25a) of a rotation angle detecting cam wheel (25) which can rotate in integration with a spool (4), a magnet (30) of the switch lever (26) is separated largely from a Hall element (33), so that the Hall element (33) is in an OFF state. On the other hand, when the distal end of the protrusion (26a) of the switch lever (26) is in contact with a circumferential surface (28a) of a convex cam (28), the magnet (30) of the switch lever (26) closely approaches the Hall element (33), so that the Hall element (33) is in an ON state. Accordingly, by sensing a predetermined withdrawn amount of a seat belt (3) withdrawn from a state of the seat belt (3) not being fastened, that is, from a state that the seat belt (3) is entirely retracted, the belt is determined to be fastened.

Abstract: A casing accommodating therein a pair of balance shafts (8,9) below the cylinder block (3) comprises an upper casing (10a) and a lower casing (1 0b) that can vertically be split, and an oil pump body (7a) is molded integrally with one of the upper and lower casings. In addition, one end of each of the two casings is inserted into the oil pump body for support therein, and the two balance shafts are each supported on a bearing provided between the two casings in such a manner as to be split into two halves at an intermediate portion or the other end thereof. With this construction, the oil pump body can be molded together with the casing, thereby making it possible to reduce the number of components used and man hours for assembling. In addition, since the bearings can be split into two halves, when compared with other portions of the balance shafts, the journal portion can be thinned, thereby making it possible not only to reduce the sliding friction but also to make the casing smaller in size and lighter in weight. More over, the degree of freedom of designing balance shafts can also be improved. With the balance shaft supporting structure for an engine the durability of a balancer, as well as the degree of freedom of designing the same are improvided without making the engine larger in size and increasing the number of components used.
